Calling all MIT-LGO Applicants (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

Hi MV23,

Good question. I believe that the choice of a b-school is a very subjective one. I can share what factors I considered, but my decision is by no means an indication of the "right" choice for everyone.

I evaluated:
-MBA program quality (curriculum, instructors, facilities)
-Focus on operations
-Networking opportunities
-Culture
-Location
-Finances

I was particularly drawn to strong ties with partner companies that take special interest in operations, the rigorous technical curriculum and the plant treks open to students. During my visits, I had the chance to meet with other admitted or current students and really felt like I could fit in the group. Every student was friendly, open-minded and down to earth. In the end, I chose LGO exactly because of these two distinguishing factors: its competitive advantage in operations and a great community.

I know that other classmates were choosing between schools and came for additional reasons. Some enjoy the duality of the program, since you can take advantage of the n. 1 engineering school; some are excited about the 6-month internship; others considered the financial package as an added bonus in their decision.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi everyone.
So it seems that only 15 people on GMAT Club have applied for the LGO program.
Any ideas when the interview invites will be out or when the released candidates will be informed?

The website says initial interview invites go out by January 8th, so hopefully by about two weeks from now: https://lgo.mit.edu/apply/#admissions_timeline

Damn, I dunno how I missed that. Thanks.
On another note, any international candidates here?

I am an international applicant but I have been working in US for the last 5 years

I am an international applicant.

Has anyone received an interview invite?

Invites seem to come out early next week from past experience.

Hey everyone,
So the interview invites should be out in 24 hours. I don't know about you guys, but pretty nervous here.

Are we sure the invites for interview will be sent out tomorrow? From what I have seen on past threads the invites normally start going out around 14th of Jan

My bad, just saw the following link

https://lgo.mit.edu/apply/#admissions_timeline

I know what it feels like, I did the exact same thing a few days back. They do mention that it might be later than that - but I'm keeping my fingers crossed from tomorrow itself.

Still no interview invite here. Really hoping it will either come tomorrow or early next week. On pins and needles!!

Did anyone not provide any optional video or essays?

I did the optional essays, but not the video.

anyone knows how many admission staffs would view our applications?

At the ambassador day they said 3 people will review each application - 2 from Sloan and 1 from the engineering department you're applying to.
